Eerie Vocals of Weddell Seal Pup & Adult

A video of Weddell seals making some of their eerie, other-worldly sounds. Weddell seals vocalize both underwater and when they are on top of the sea ice. This video shows two male Weddell seals vocalizing, and a Weddell seal pup practicing! More information at WeddellSealScience.com .

If you listen closely you can hear the egg seal in the background

[@Balnazzardi]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA......egg!

Weddell seals have to be some of my favourite animals in existence. The fact that they're these big fat fluffy torpedoes that also make spaceship sounds is almost too comical to believe.

[@sparaxisblanc2473]

Yeah and they can make goofier sounds too.
"AaaaAAAaaaaaaah! Egg."

[@user-fc2lx4ou2t]

L'egg! EaEAEaaeeaph ilgik

[@mononoke721]

Who needs a synthesiser when you've got a seal pup?

[@ninagall7500]

You've made Vangelis angry

[@TheDudeMyDude]

Seals: nature's natural DJs

[@Whenlifedies]

Break it down, DJ Seal!

[@funkysealsquad1833]

Whenlifedies thank you we value our comic bookz too and get some Denny’s with mum when we drop a fresh beat!

[@sparaxisblanc2473]

Weddell seals: Egg! GAAH!
Also Weddell seals: let's get TECHNO.

Weddell Seal: "BOOM BOOM BOOM [SPACESHIP NOISES] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

[@betzabenaranja5165]

I heard a human scream when the Weddell seal makes sounds

[@silviaf2725]

Some seals: *Alien spaceship sound effects*
The rest: *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGG! Fibsh!!! B'leg! (Pig sneezes)*

[@MichaelTheoret]

🤣🤣🤣

[@MrTigerlore]

Those sounds are definitely meant for long-range underwater communication.

[@angrychipmunkonfire3]

It's like they're making techno music

[@user-jl8io3ik5y]

Or we're making seal music....

[@TPDManiacXC626]

Or perhaps we humans recorded and remixed the sounds the Weddell Seals naturally make.

[@fightfannerd2078]

Ikr

[@lordbelou7279]

What they don't tell you is that adult Weddell Seals are actually electro-bass machines.

[@KyrialArthian]

I can't handle the sheer amount of cute coming from that pup.

[@masacatior]

:'3

[@user-fc2lx4ou2t]

Da biggest bird

[@BearorBust]

Aw the little guy can only chirp.

[@Nyeh830]

I was expecting lots of "egg". Instead I got Lucio. Not complaining.

[@TenorCantusFirmus]

Expectations: "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGG!!!"
Reality: Synth-seals.

Background vocals add a grand touch to this already heavenly sound.

someone needs to do a techno-remix for this!

No need it's perfect like this.

I love the baby's chirping sound

[@Issa.mp3]

0:17 that random *egg* in the backround

[@mrshootyowl87]

Whoa!! I never would of guessed that seals, especially the Weddell Seals, would make such eerie, or electronic like sounds! I thought that the Walrus and a few birds and the Lyra Bird were a few creatures that can produce a nonorganic sounds. The Lyra Bird can mimic so many sounds and the male Walrus, while in rut, makes a bell or a gong like call. Love animals! :)

[@mrshootyowl87]

Oops!! I spelled Lyrebird wrong... Sorry...

[@pickleman40]

The Boston aquarium used to have a talking seal back in the day, he even had a Boston accent

[@mrshootyowl87]

@@pickleman40 Yep. I believe the seal’s name was Hoover

[@RAINBOWPONIESRULE]

this is going in my new vaporwave track

[@alleycatsphinx]

Those linear sweeps and pulses sound like they might carry well underwater.

[@roxanneconner7185]

haha, that's what I thought too! It sounds like 'sonar' in movies

[@Ambipie]

That's probably why it's their first voice. Mammals adapted to have helpless young that need to cry for their parents to come get them if danger strikes the nest-this leads to being smarter ironically

[@Foxwithnoname]

They're all wonderful
but that pup at the end is adorable, the combination of the fluffy baby, it's cute face and the noises it's making goodness I love them so much.

[@turbofart101]

0:17 in the background: EEEEEEEEGGGGGGG!!!

[@antonmorvolhert]

That's a seal learning to beatbox.

[@hago66]

Aaah the pup is so adorable, I can't---

[@powaviolenza]

nice LFOs & filter sweepz

[@Neky_Hina]

0:14 Looks and sounds like when a cat is going to throw up. lol

[@camelbyte626]

That last seal chirping like a bird ... 😭😭 ❤❤❤

[@JesuscantergallopTB]

It's kinda hard to look at these animals and not get cuteness overload! Awww! Anyway I think their sounds are beautiful and they look soo cuddly! -3

[@azarashi_drip]

the pup's vocals is so cute ;A;

[@Fern8]

So techno music was inspired by Weddell seals lol

[@kiraxxxxxxxxx]

He loves Psytrance I think. Those kicks are awesome.

0:17 me when I wake up and realize that I forgot to finish my homework

[@ajaku]

These are cute and awe-worthy, however some of those sounds made me shiver! I don't know what I'd do if I was out in the ocean and heard that!

[@Bleach821]

0:36, I swear that was the sound effect of the TARDIS from Doctor Who.

[@barbaravance6774]

Have heard countless noises from whales, dolphins etc. These are some out of body sounds, one sounded like a UFO landing, fascinating!

[@sandrab8795]

The baby sounds like she's giving kisses.

[@a_flexxx]

i like the pup's nose at the end..

[@Maria-xf1yx]

I'm still waiting for the album to be released.

[@Miguel96278]

he is adorable

[@ania0the0amazing]

someone pleqse make a remix out of this

[@IlincaLirael]

oh noes!
the seal is beat-boxing
XD

[@Charlie94781]

Sounds like a cat mixed with a beatbox

[@MichaelTheoret]

Beatboxing hit it big in the 80s ....Weddell Seals: " Are We a joke to You?" Also: Some Cool Dude creates the First Moog Analogue Synthesizer in 1964 " I'm gonna make some weird spaceship sounds better than anyone else has before me ." Weddell Seal: " Sir, hold my fish."

[@danielcoelho3477]

These and the leopard seals are the most beautiful.

0:44 it sounds like when you unlock your car with the fob lol

[@svetlana8491]

I love this video!

[@bonnielucas3244]

That's fascinating. I never knew about those sounds

[@MichaelTheoret]

Imagine never knowing that Seals could make such Alien sounding sounds and then hearing those sounds on some foggy dark night. That person would think that the Alien attack on Planet Earth was for sure going to happen.

[@eduardorivera508]

This is exactly what it means when they say, "let the beat drop."

[@drivn4895]

That's what I do when the back roof of my mouth itches

[@GentlemanBystander]

So this is where prog rock bands got all their space sounds.

[@Joecoleman84]

I'm a minute in and still waiting for the drop, this is gonna be a banger

[@Hanakowasright]

These seals have talent

[@kylesoler4139]

Adult seal: sounds of pure science fiction.
Baby seal: old man.

[@JuanSchwartz]

Them ice puppies sound just like throwing rocks on a frozen lake.

The third lil' guy sounds like you threw a pebble out onto a frozen lake.

[@anthonyyoung286]

If you listen closely you can hear the gentle sounds of a guy that couldn’t keep his trap shut and almost ruined the recording

[@noble6963]

very cute

[@marylynnprice637]

Yes, a remix!!! And please post a copy here if you do!!!

[@farewell.forever]

why does adult seal sounds like some kind of synthesiser and seal pup sounds like a bird 😭😭

[@HerreCutt]

This is what it sounds like when you try to start our flying car, but you left the lights on so it needs a jump.

[@laurelcook9078]

Reminds me of my dog for some reason, they both have the same look to their face.

[@masacatior]

Aww cute pupper

[@shgstewart4674]

TIL that Weddell seals make sounds that make me think Doctor Who is starting.

[@TakerAMD]

Now with this spaceship sounds I 1000% sure that Nenechi 100% fit her name super galaxy wife-seal-bear
Also now I also know where Hollywood movie makers take their sounds for sci-fi/alien films

How psytrance started once upon a time ❤

Some of these sounds would feel right at home in Star Trek as background noise. :O

0:12 onwards sounds like the creaking ice makes under the water. I wonder if that's what inspired it
